Summary
A wild AI scam targeting soccer star Alphonso Davies is spreading fake Instagram ads featuring a deepfake of his dad being arrested and released with cash—just to push people toward the unregulated gambling site Oxibet, complete with a bogus Drake endorsement. The stunt not only violates Alberta’s strict athlete gambling promotion laws but also exploits harmful stereotypes and AI’s ability to fabricate damaging content. With Alberta’s regulated iGaming system already in place, officials warn listeners to avoid offshore sites like Oxibet and always look for the official Alberta iGaming Corporation logo to play safe and legally.
